As it is the main holiday month we are having a break from our People Profile and Opinion Page but they will be back next month. If you would like to contribute to our Opinion Page we would love to hear from you-just email me at the address below. e have a fascinating article from local company Tree Maintenance Ltd on pages 20-21 telling us all about the trimming of the Painswick yews in the beautiful St. Mary’s church.

On pages 36/37 we feature an article from Gloucestershire Constabulary with tips on how to deal with bogus callers and rogue traders. Really useful advice for everyone but particular so for the old and vulnerable amongst us.
